I have depression and alcoholism and strangely longevity in my family. Most situations have killed us males off before we are in any other medical condition, but then the women go on to a ripe old age. I dunno how it works

All issues that can be caused by those women mate maybe you should consider being single.....

We had a meeting at work today and I was asked what steps I would take in the event of a fire. Apparently "fucking big ones" wasn't the right answer

Any thoughts on here on the use of CBD oil or other Cannabinoidols (?) for cancer treatment?

Looking at this as a possible option for my Mum for pain relief from upcoming strong chemo sessions. not sure how to broach it with her really, but as she was an ITU Nurse for 40+ years, i'm thinking empirical evidence or at least reliable studies might be the best option.

The Chief: "trust me, you can't have too many years with a club like Leeds."

The CBD thing is interesting, there are those who swear by it as an aid to a healthy/restful life (looking at you, Krust, shilling the stuff in my Twitter feed). No idea if there's any solid trial data - as you will see from the NCI page, the work just doesn't get done until someone really pushes for it - which is why Sativex had taken so long.

The non-psychoactive compounds might be easier to persuade her to try, but if my understanding is correct there's no non-psychoactive preparation that has the right mix of effects in the areas you're rightly thinking of.

Besides, if she opts for non-psychoactive she's missing a trick anyway

You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later.

This might seem like small news, but some more solid data for the immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors has significance for two reasons: the FDA are approving this stuff on sight because of how well it can work, and pretty much for the first time a drug is being given based on shared defects across multiple tumours, rather than different drugs for particular kinds of tumour.

Eighteen out of 86 advanced cancer patients had their tumour disappear. Excellent stuff.
